Many disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, depression, and schizophrenia, are linked to dopamine deficiencies. MIT neuroscientists have now devised a way to measure dopamine in the brain for more than a year, which they believe will help them to learn much more about its role in both healthy and diseased brains.

Combined with a wireless communication module, this integrated biomedical sensor system can transmit biometric data to the cloud. Thanks to advances in semiconductor technology, wearable devices can now monitor health by measuring vital signs or taking an electrocardiogram, and then transmitting the data wirelessly to a smartphone.

Some want to cure cancer or treat heart disease. Others want to grow the tissues and organs that patients need for transplants. Some groups are even working to develop highly personalised medicines, tailored to an individual’s genetics. However, the development of measurement tools for stem cell production is challenging, making it hard to determine what makes various new stem cell-related products safe, effective or high-quality.

RICOH MEG, Ricoh's magnetoencephalography system, is a noninvasive way to detect faint signals within the brain. It provides deeper measurement (hippocampus and hypothalamus), clearer signal using coaxial gradiometer sensors and greater patient comfort for better data acquisition.

Glaucoma, as well as a few other less common eye conditions, require regular IOP measurements in order to properly adjust how much medications to take. Typically, this is done at the doctor’s office using a handheld tonometer, but such measurements are performed infrequently and vary significantly throughout even a single day.

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) and the German Heart Centre at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now determined which and how many individual proteins are present in each type of cell that occurs in the heart. In doing so, they compiled the first atlas of the healthy human heart, known as the cardiac proteome.
